Chris Evans’ *Deadpool & Wolverine Return Perfectly Twists an Iconic MCU Phase 2 Line
Chris Evans’ return as Johnny Storm’s Human Torch in *Deadpool & Wolverine* provided him with the perfect opportunity to put a fresh spin on one of his most iconic quotes as Steve Rogers’ Captain America in the MCU. *Deadpool & Wolverine* featured appearances from various returning Marvel actors, including Wesley Snipes, Jennifer Garner, and Dafne Keen. However, Chris Evans’ return was the biggest and most surprising appearance in the film, though he did not reprise his legendary MCU role as Captain America.
Instead, Evans returned to his role as Johnny Storm from 2005’s *Fantastic Four* and its 2007 sequel, allowing the film to preserve Steve Rogers’ emotional ending from *Avengers: Endgame* while nodding to Marvel’s cinematic history. Seeing Evans back in action as the flame-wielding Fantastic Four member was thrilling, offering him the chance to explore a new facet within the MCU. The contrast between Steve Rogers’ Captain America and Johnny Storm’s Human Torch was never more apparent than in *Deadpool & Wolverine*’s hilarious post-credits scene.
